the hassle is not worth it, especially if you are not near the border.

having brought in a car from Canada last year, I can tell you there's also the secondary considerations of what you have to pay on the Canada side, duties, transportation, etc. you even have to take into account the cost of flying into Canada and the paperwork you have to declare coming back, and if you screw up you have to export your vehicle within 30 days or do it all over again at a port of entry.

there are also a lot of states that require a smog check on a new car imported into the state.

if you want a road trip, sure. just don't justify it as cost savings because there aren't any to be had.
